well that^^^^^ doesnt help.......... has anyone added vtec to a non vtec engine? i need to know how difficult it would be? or if its worth the hassel? or if its possible? any info would be great.

Many have added VTEC to a non-VTEC engine it's not that difficult, but it does require a bit of effort on your part. Do a search on an "LS VTEC" there are dozens of write ups on it and if you just read a couple of them you should be able to do it on your own.

awesome thanks

hale97 · 03-26-2009, 02:42 PM

what head would you suggest using? or is one really better than the next??

haao13 · 03-26-2009, 04:12 PM

gsr imo

hate to be captain douche bag but seriously the apocalypse wont come when you use the search function so its okay to use once and a while

i've always heard that the b16 head breathed better.

there are tons of guys who have done LS swaps, you arent going to get as much power out of just a GSR head swap as opposed to getting the entire GSR engine

hale97 · 04-02-2009, 09:44 PM

i figured that, but from what i understand it the ls block is supposed to be better to turbo. and being on a bit of a tight budget i was thinking that would be a solid way to go(with the gsr head). or do u think a b16 head would be better? thanks

Wrong. GSR and B16 flow ratings are nearly identical if I remember correctly.

I think you may be thinking about the IM.

you sir are a tard...more displacement equals more power:facepalm:

152madwhp · 04-03-2009, 11:03 PM

b16 head flows better at certain points than b18 and vice versa

Your posts make my head hurt. First off he was right you can't get as much power out of a LS/Vtec that you can get from a full GSR.

Next again your posts make my head hurt. The flow charts between the heads are almost the same, you're thinking of the B16 intake manifold that flows better than the GSR IM.

hale97 please don't listen to this NOOB he and his 152whp have no idea what they're talking about.
